The only thing that has prevented this from happening is my own inertia - and focus on other areas of the garden that have higher visibility.Gerhard Bock (Succulents and More)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17583583634141549759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1615100786320943903.post-75422447804458726322017-03-17T11:59:19.880-07:002017-03-17T11:59:19.880-07:00Ooh, really nice!
